She Too
She too. She too. He's
Not awake, not asleep
Not there. Not here
Just single shots
Sits then stands up
Looks at his hands
Their whitened blood
Ceasefire in force
Later on she was nothing but a body too heavy
to bear
Pointless eyes
Five were killed when their vehicle drove over
A mouth begging to say
Nothing is understood
Whom shall he bear in his hands now?
Unto whose mouth shall he offer food?
Noise has wrecked How shall he live without this
suffering?
The ceasefire was implemented
On the Egyptian side single shots were heard
His shadow wastes away
Hard to bear this harsh light
The days of youth have long passed on
I used to think that death was nothing but an
accident
She Too
She too. She too. He
is not awake, not asleep
Not there. Not here
Mere few shots
Sits down and gets up
Looks at his hands
Their blood has whitened
The ceasefire is in force
Eventually she was but an unbearably heavy body
Eyes of no use
Five were killed when their vehicle drove over
A mouth trying to say
Nothing can be understood
Who will he carry in his hands now?
To whose mouth will he serve food?
Noise has destroyed How will he live without this suffering?
The ceasefire took hold
On the Egyptian side a few shots were heard
His shadow is growing thin
Difficult to take this strong light
The days of youth have long ago gone
I used to think that death was no more than an accident
